Worlds Greatest Windsurfing Destinations

Windsurfing became the new fun thing to do in the late 1970's when one out of three households had a windsurfing board. Since technology was advancing making the boards lighter and stronger, it made it easier to transport to and from different locations. As the sport of Windsurfing progressed, new locations were discovered making each destination its own unique experience.

Across the globe specific spots were found where the wind could be relied on during a seasonal time of the year. These seasonal winds are called trade winds. One spot called the Fortunate Islands can count on the north-easterly winds every year from May to September making the Canaries Islands one of the top premier windsurfing destinations for European windsurfing enthusiasts.
